The first time I came across varlink was the Podman 1.x remote API for client/server communication between clients and a host with the actual Podman installation. However, in Podman 2.x, it was replaced by a RESTful API. Afair, the reason was that the varlink C client was discontinued. Does anyone know if varlink is still actively maintained?
